Referring now more particularly toFig. 1, in general index character A shows a irst adhesive-applying unit,'AA a second Iadhesive-applying unit, B a laminating and tape-applying unit, C van adhesive-drying oradhesive-soliditying unit, and D a scoring,l cut-oit and delivery unit.

The adhesive-applying unit A consists of a frame 5 on which is a removable supporting shaft 'I for a supply web Il to which adhesive is to be applied foi lamination and bag formation. This shaft 'I is Y /laterally adjustable 1n frame 5 from a control supply roll 9 behind an idler mechanism I 3 for properly positioning the supply roll 5 so that the web Il in the machine. The mechanism I3 includes an adjustable tension brake I5 for providing proper tensioning reaction from the roll 9 on the web II. Further description of the device I3, I5 will not be given, since its form andvfunction are already known inthe art.

At numeral I is shown a stand for another supporting shaft 3. This supports a supply roll 2 of paper, cloth or like web 4 which, as will be seen later, vice AA and then laminatedwith the web II at B to form the desiredcase liners or bags. Associa-ted .with this shaft 3 is another control mechanism I3 for properly laterally positioning the supply roll 2 and another adiustable tension spring I5 for providing proper reaction from the roll 2 on the web 4. 'I'he web! passes forward under the drying unit C, through unit AA, and meets the web II at llaminating and tape-applying unit B. k f

The shaft 42 which'is driven by a chain drive 43 from a shaft The shaft` li is driven bya belt drive 41 from a motor I3. Thus is provided means dor drawing paper fromN the supply into the upper part oi the adhesiveapparatus A.

Mounted for rotation with a shaft 33 is a'ply bar 0|. Shaft I3 is located inea swinging/traine I3, pivoted on a shaft which is carried in trame l. Outside o! the framel l, the shaft I3 isprovided'wlth s. sectorarm l1 by means oi'which thepswln'in! frame I3 may be adjusted to an! desired angular position. A locking bolt assembly in any desired angular position. Suitable slots 0| in the adjacent part of the'frninc i accommodate adjustment movement oi the shaft 03. From the above itis clear that the smit 03 supports elements for the rotary ply pasting bar 3| and is itself supported in the swinging drame I3. g

A gear .l l(Fig. 3) is c rried on t haft 03 and meshes with a drive gear 01 carri on the shaft Il (Fig. 11). This gear l1 is driven from a sprocket 03 through an ordinary differential gear 1| shown in Fig. 1l. This gear consists oi a driving bevel gear 13, a drivenbevel gear 1li and intermediate bevel pinions 11 whihare on radial pins 10 carried on a rotary.- ring 3|, the latter being cut .on the outside as a worm wheel I3. This rm 33 meshes with a worm 3l having a rotary adjustment from a handwheel 01. The vof the differential is to allow which are carried on shafts |23 located in a ver- !or advancing or retarding the motion phase of tically swinging cradle |3|, the latter being pivthe surface of t ply pasting'bar Il with reoted on fixed shaft |33 on fixed supports |34.

In orderI to make a clean-cut trailing edge (eliminate tails) of adhesive on the ply pasting of Fig. 4 is employed. This de-tailing mechanism consists in. a gear 0 driven from gear 85 and mounted' on a rotary shaft 3 inthe adjustable frame 53. Shaft 3 carries a cam |0 which has a lug i2 engageable with de-tailing or wiper bar I0. The bar IB rocks on a shaft |8 also carried on said rocking frame 53. Gears I5 and 8 are phased so that each time g about the position shown in Fig. 4, the de-tailing tangent to its trailing edge, thereby knocking off any trailing/tail of adhesive and making a clean cut rear edge of adhesive on said ply pasting @bar when it meetslweb A spring 22 returns the de-tailing bar to the position after each operation by the lug I2. The anchor 20 of the spring is carried on the rocking frame 53. In order lto transfer the adhesive from the ply pastingl bar 5I to the passing web il, the latter is In normal operation, the cradle |3| is swung down into the position shown in Fig'. 3, wherein the reach of the web between the rolls |21 is pressed vinto an arcuate shape over the ply. pasting bar 5|, each time the bar. passes. The tangential'velocity of the bar is equal to that of the web I and hence transfer of adhesive is made in lateral bar shapes such as is shown at 20 in Fig. 5. The descent of the cradle |3| islimited 5 `by rotary and axially adjustable jack screws |32 (Fig. 10). 'These are threaded through rotary pieces |38 adapted to be adjusted and clamped to the-cradle |3| by bolts |33. Thus rotary pieces |36 maybe locked in any angular position desired 4and the jack screws |32 may in turn be axially ad- Justed in the rotary pieces.

a third stripe V50 of ve is applied nearl swung clockwise, the cradle placing the rotary mechanismV l of the ply pasting bar in a swinging frame such' by adhesive roller l2 dipping into an adhesive trough 80. 'I'his stripe passes up with the web 4lbut is not covered by tape and meets web to form a longitudinal pasted bottom-forming seam connecting with the bars of adhesive 28 which form pasted side seams for bags or case liners v'vhich are later 'to be. cut

from thev webs. 'Ihe adjacent stripes 44 and 58 arealso'potentlal seam formers, exceptthat they are covered by the tape 40 and 42 so as to prevent bag closure until the bag has been filled and' the tapes 40 and 42 stripped olf. y It will be noted that and 42 and' the stripe 58 are all in one plane and that-the/roller (Fig. 5) has been shortened so as to avoid pressure in this plane. Throughout the remainder of the lengths of the ironing rollers'30 and |60 pressure is applied to the web. Thus-the web is ironed and the seams pressed shut except at the covered A open the resulting bags.

The roll |55 (Fig. 9) is an idler roll but the adhesive rolls 52 and 58 are power-driven, being located on a shaft 82 provided with a gear drive 8.4. 'I'he gear 68 of this drive is on a shaft 88 which is driven by means of a chain drive |18 from the shaft 45. Th'e driven sprocket is shown l |02.. Fig. 8 shows certain detai An adjacent sprocket 12 motivates a chain drive 14 which drives a rearward shaft 18. Another ohain drive 18 leads from the chain drive 18 to the unit D.

This unit D consists of a sloping bed which has suitable bearings for the following elements: The first element on top of the bed 80 consists of a pair of male and female creasing or scoring rolls 82 and 84 respectively (Fig. 7). 'I'hese co- .operate to produce a score lille 88 just within the stripe 50. 'I'he lower female roll 84 is on a shaft 88 driven from said chain drive 18. Roll 82 is on a shaft 90 which is driven from shaft 88 through gears 92. v -At 94 is shown apair of draw rolls chain-driven from shaft 90 by means of a chain drive 96 and geared together as indicated at 98. These rolls 84 draw the web through the creaser rolls 82 and 84. j

At 99 (Figs. 1, 6 and 8) are bracketsfor supporting rotary shafts |00 geared together as inliicated at |0| and chain-driven indicated at of these elements, The upper half of this device is constituted by aturning frame |04 on which are spaced `male scoring blades |06.

Brady and myself, Serial No.l 508,534, led November 1, 1943, for Bag structures and process of manufacture.' It consists of a structure which may become a bag per se or a case liner having side seams made from the adhered webs at the adhesive which was originally applied at 28. This structure has a closedbottom seam made |by parts of the stripe 50. It has also an open mouth with adjacent tape-covered adhesive stripes. These stripes are respectively covered -by the tapes. used is permanently tacky tapes 48 and 42 prevent the adjacent stripes from sticking together until the tapes are ripped off which is done after the article is nlled.

assaoso Si ,e the ad-hesive ,15 asphalt, these cover,

It will be understood that other adhesives than 2o asphalt may be used but asphalt is satisfactory because it may be compounded to be permanently tacky. If asphalt is used, the various adhesive containers therefor are suitably warmed by electric heaters or the lili/e it in a fluid enough c ition to make the applications above indicat It will be also'understood that any of the adhesive applying rollers such as 46, 52 and 58 may or may. not be powerdriven, because with many types of adhesives an idler roller for adhesive application is satisfactory.

It is also to be understood that with lcertain adhesives' it may be possible to dispense with the drying rolls |58, in which event the web after assembly may be led directly from the unit B to the unit D.

The drums |58 are driven only .by the webs and 4 and do not drive that web. This simplifles the mechanical structure and prevents wrinkling of the web. They are not used as pressure rolls which heretofore Vfavored wrinkling.

The rolls |58 are supplied through suitableglands and bearings with a heating Afluid, such asisteam or hot water, the inletlines being shown at numeral |83 and the outlet lines at |85. Supply and exhaust headers are shown at |81 and |88, respectively. Instead of heating the'idler drying'rolls |53 they may be supplied with a coollng medium should the character of the adhesive require it for setting purposes.

The sequence of operations is as follows:

Paper webbing Vand 4 is drawn simultaneously from the rolls 8 and 2 respectively and comes together at the irpning rolls and |60.

pressure rolls, receives the spaced laterally positioned rectangular bars of adhesive 28 and also the stripev 4t.` l

The web 4 as it approaches the rolls 30 and |60 receives the stripe 56 in the plane of stripe 44. Stripes 56 and 44 are coveredby tape 42 sind respectively, the tapes being contiguous and between thewebs and 4.

At the ironing rolls the two webs and 4 are pressed together over the hesive bars 28 and stripe 58, thus completing a sequence of U-shaped seams. II he stripes 44 and 56,v and tapes 40 and 42V are not pressed because the roller 88 is short.

' The composite web thus organized -passes 'over the heated rolls |58 -and the adhesive is transformed from a liquid to a more solid but'preferably permanently flexible and tacky form.

Finally the web passes through unit where ot shown) to maintain 25 it is scored (both longitudinally at Il and laterally at ||4) and is ilnally out apart-through the bars 28. The result is a series oi' bag-like structures having pasted side seams and -bottom seams withinwhich are score lines yfor folding over ofthe seams.' The purpose of this is to allow infolding of these seams forv increasing strength as particularized in the patent application above mentioned. The tape-covered 'adhesive within the mouth allows for nlling without damage to the adhesive. After illling the tapes may be removed, thus exposing opposite stripes 44 and 58 of tacky adhesive which may be pressed together for closure.

The device shown at |88 (Fig. l) is a register printer which is timed with the ply pasting apparatus to imprint register marks |48 on the outside of the plies over the bars 28. This reglster printer is not new per se and details are therefore not shown. Its use permits of rolling up the composite web before segmenting it as at the cutter |22. lIhereafter it may be unrolled for segmentation, as by passing through photoelectric cutting apparatus responsive tofthe irnprints for properly timing an electric cutter to sever at the bars 28; .I do not claim the electric cutting per se but. mention it to show that the invention contemplates cutting'l means equivalent to that shown at |28.

It will of coursebe understood that if the scoring 88 and ||4 is not desired, this operation may be eliminated by removal of the scoring rolls 82 and 86.

In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects ofthe other advantageous results attained.

j@ As many changes could be made in the above constructions without of t e invention, it is cont the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted departing from the scope as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
